If they don't want Joe Biden, who the 'F' do they want. They should put up or shut up. (Original Post) Hotler Jul 2024 OP

Because that's who they're going to get after dividing the party like this.

These smug people will be sitting there the day after the election going see I told you so when it was their fing fault.

I hope more than ever Biden wins. Not only to stick it to MAGA, but to stick to these entitled smug elitists.

The spineless democrats that have been suckered by the media into trying to push President Biden out of office will not be forgotten, at least by me.

I'm old enough to remember Chicago in 1968 and the Democratic Convention, these people are just asking for a loss! Even my own senator, Sherrod Brown, has gone soft and this shocks me!

Shameful!

They had most of the first term to promote upcoming leaders. Were they too lazy to come up with a plan B? If so, they should have allowed VP Harris to share the spotlight more often. I know she is extremely competent and qualified and has been hard at work these past years, but she has been underutilized in the public sphere.

Biden and Harris, and the entire administration, need to be seen as a team working together for the American people.

She has been getting big crowds.

My daughter is a CFO and she overheard some investors talking about how they liked Kamala.

they want to go to a back room selection process, where the voters don't come into it at all.

They certainly don't seem to care what the people who voted in the primaries think. They are ready to take our votes and toss them.

They all want a different person to be the replacement.

The result is a repeat of the chaos from 1968!!! A brokered convention with lots of people angry their guy didn’t win and holding Grudges! It makes us look disorganized and utterly unprepared to lead!!!!

Remember what happened to Humphrey? How he almost lost every state in the union?

No no no no!!!!

Biden/Harris is the ONLY ticket that can win now!!!

until Biden agrees to withdraw from the race and things start moving in that direction. Not even Kamala Harris. That would be bad form. That's what I would expect, anyway.
